I had another song with lyrics but couldn't record it

I was also working on this one so i tried to finish it up instead

Damned if I dont

Those bass stabs are love on their own, but work as great spice to the track. What a fantastic dish.

The drums need more work here but it is a pain in the ass on a little phone, better to drum program on a tablet.

I really like that soft calming backing melody, always a really nice melange of high paced and slow systems.
I got nanoloop on android thanks to you haha, havent spent much time with it yet though, really nice looking software! Still amazes me what you are able to create with it.

Nice one. Yeah it's cheap. 3-5€$£. My suggestion is try layering a lot with it

This is badass, love the drum work (particularly little solo retrig bits, e.g. 1:17, loved that you teased that one earlier in the track, I wanted it to come back so badly!)

The detuned bass section & that drum fill at 2:20 tho -- curing my COVID, this bit. heart

The voices/sound design here are awe inspiring. All on an android phone?

gorgeous harmonies and textures. the galloping motion of the synths and the drums against the lilting pads makes it all breathe. everything feels so delicate and intentional. the anxiety bridge is a perfect compliment. feels like  the last gasp of summer. faved.

Yeah done on a phone looking to buy a android tablet since it has some extra features

Drums could be better IMHO but making drum patterns on a tiny phone sucks

The work between rhythm and melody is what makes the song "work"
